This gene encodes a member of the sarcoglycan alpha/epsilon family of transmembrane proteins. The encoded protein is part of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which links the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton in muscle fibers. Disruption of this gene results in progressive muscular dystrophy and is associated with the development of embryonal rhabdomysarcoma. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]
